“…In the literature (Table 1), there is no information about the incidence of the congenital absence of the major SMG; however, to date, approximately 40 cases have been reported [2]. Salivary glands may show unilateral or bilateral aplasia and aplasia of one or more groups.…”

Background. Congenital absence of the submandibular gland (SMG) is a rare condition. Although complaints such as dry mouth, dental problems, or difficulty in swallowing may be seen, the subjects may also be asymptomatic. The absence of the SMG may be associated with hypertrophy of the contralateral SMG. Case Report. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with incidentally detected left SMG aplasia, with contralateral SMG hypertrophy mimicking a mass, and the case of a 46-year-old woman with incidentally detected bilateral SMG aplasia, demonstrated by computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conclusion. It is important for the clinician to know that this very rare abnormality may exist. When such a case is encountered, symptoms and findings should be reevaluated and, if necessary, conservative therapy should be initiated. The possibility of observing additional deformities should be kept in mind and an evaluation should be done for other cases in the family.

“…In the English medical literature, approximately 40 cases have been reported to date. The first case was presented in 1885 by Gruber and was a bilateral SMG aplasia [2]. Although its etiology is not known, it is thought to result from a defect that occurs during fetal development.…”

“…The congenital absence of major salivary glands is very rare and they are seen more commonly in the parotid glands, but they may also be seen in the submandibular glands. [1][2][3] The pathogenesis of unilateral submandibular agenesis is unknown; however, it is thought to result from the disturbance of organogenesis. 11,12 Multiple major salivary gland agenesis is sometimes associated with genetic syndromes such as lacrimo-auriculodento-digital syndrome, aplasia of lacrimal and salivary glands, and Treacher Collins syndrome.…”

“…C ongenital agenesis or aplasia of the salivary gland is an uncommon event and more often affects multiple major salivary glands. [1][2][3] Isolated unilateral submandibular gland agenesis is a rare entity. Compensatory hypertrophy of the sublingual gland can cause herniation through the mylohyoid gap and may be symptomatic.…”

Congenital agenesis of the submandibular gland is uncommon. We report dynamic sonography and CT findings of the unilateral submandibular gland agenesis associated with herniated hypertrophic sublingual gland tissue through the mylohyoid gap. The dynamic sonography examination applied at rest and during the modified Valsalva maneuver demonstrated hypertrophied sublingual gland prolapsing to the anterior part through the mylohyoid gap. This may be the first reported case describing dynamic sonography findings of this entity. CT confirmed the agenesis of the left submandibular gland and compensatory hypertrophy of the ipsilateral sublingual gland.

Congenital unilateral agenesis of the parotid gland is a rare condition with only few cases reported in the literature. A review of 21 cases in the available literature is presented in this article. We report on a further case of a 34-year-old woman with agenesis of the left parotid gland and lipoma of the right cheek. Clinicopathological characteristics of described cases in the literature were discussed.
